<p>From where I come from a wagon that has lasted all of the day phase with no other wagons in a plurality game means that scum are happy to let the game coast to a lynch. </p><p> </p><p>

I came on and chose the most suspicious thing I could see in a very sparse thread on someone who already had a vote on them to create another wagon.</p>

You've got a good explanation as well for your actions. This is only my second plurality game, but I did something similar in the last one and it was called scummy, so that's my interpretation of it here.</p>

<em>As day broke the masses reconvened at the community center in hopes of answers and directions. The same Young Man as before found his way back to the table and began addressing those in attendance.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#FF8C00;"><strong>Young Man: We are here today to elect our first representatives to the Effingham Heights Homeowners Association. Once we have done that then we can figure out what our next course of action is.</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<em>The young man explained how the election processed worked; some understood, others didn’t. Rather quickly people began to nominate themselves, which came as little surprise given it is a room full of entitled, rich, and self-centered people. After some deliberation, but mostly just the self-nominating, a decision was made. </em><em><strong>Destiny</strong></em><em>, </em><em><strong>Derek B</strong></em><em>, and </em><em><strong>Memory of Talon</strong></em><em> would represent the fine, upstanding people of Effingham Heights. The day was not through, however, as a course of action was needed following the horrific results of yesterday. A man from the back of the room shouts out at the room.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">Man in the Back: So what now? Can we all sell our land now and get rich…er, or what?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>A woman near him responds.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#000080;">Near Woman: Just because someone killed Reginald doesn’t mean we’re all going to sell! Some of us actually want to live here!</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000080;">

</span></strong></p><p>

<em>A cheer of approval echoes throughout the room.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#000080;">Near Woman: Furthermore, we should be trying to figure out who killed Reginald in the first place, I mean, he was murdered right in front of us.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#000080;">

</span></strong></p><p>

<em>The man in the back scoffs.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">Man in the Back: Murdered is a strong word, I think we can all agree it was just a case of sudden death syndrome.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">

</span></strong></p><p>

<em>The room starts to talk amongst themselves, first as a murmur and then a full-on wave of arguments. Suddenly someone turns their attention to the comely woman sitting quietly to herself in the corner of the room.</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#4B0082;">Accuser: It was you, wasn’t it!? I never did trust you with your shifty eyes…I mean, look at her! She’s weird and speaks funny!

[Guest Memory of Talon]

<p>The proposals are </p><p> </p><p>

1. Net day phase is Majority Lynch</p><p> </p><p>

2. Day skip</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

This is just paraphrasing. </p><p> </p><p>

The second is obviously very helpful to scum. While I'm not a fan of Majority Lynch, the first proposal is obviously a must. </p><p> </p><p>

If we go into a day skip, which I doubt we will. Then the other two must be scum. </p><p> </p><p>

I talked to the mod about how tranparant we can be with the proposals and got aproval to talk about it in thread.</p>

[Tha Black Phenom]

<p>Door-to-door salesperson. Hmm, wonder what could've been behind that.</p><p> </p><p>

Glad to see that the proposals can be discussed in thread. This may make for an interesting dynamic about our night phases. Because of this, night phases are likely to be anything but quiet.</p><p> </p><p>

Two choices, I wonder if it will remain to just that. I also wonder if there is an option to abstain. The choice here seems pretty elementary, and it seems that our future day phases may show fluidity between plurality and majority.</p>

[Rayelek]

I would be shocked if we get Day Skip. Even if both Derek and Destiny are scum, it's a ballsy play to out both of them with that vote. Of course, if we got Day Skip, it'll be a situation where all 3 council members are saying "I voted Majority, the other 2 are scum".

[DeadCeleb]

<p>So noticed some speculation about the timing of my voting on Blue. While it's fair to read that as a scum play, I didnt notice how close we were to end of phase. My days are all out of sorts with being off work as my life usually revolves around my work schedule. </p><p> </p><p>

I legitimately thought Blue was acting strange, hence my vote. Alas, back to watching the thread I go for now.</p>

[Destiny]

I can confirm what MoT said with regards to the council's options tonight and have already voted for majority voting tomorrow. If myself and MoT are both telling the truth then that's what will be chosen, unless there are shenanigans at play.

[moon_lit_tears]

Sorry I missed deadline guys. I’ve been out all day! Today my niece/my heart just graduated high school and August 28 she enters collage so...yeah....

[Destiny]

Congratulations to your niece/heart. You must be very proud. My nephew is only three at the moment but I can imagine how nice it must be to see. Out of curiosity, if you were around at deadline where would your vote have remained?
